While Wendy Davis launched her campaign for Congress from Texas’ 21st District talking about needing to run because “people’s voices are still being silenced” while knowing that she is most known for working to ensure that millions of humans will never have a voice because they were murdered in the womb, another big liberal Democrat voice entered a 2020 race.
And big is the operative word according to my guest host Matt Crow earlier this week in referring to state Senator Royce West of Dallas jumping into the Democratic scrum to win the nomination to take on U.S. Senator John Cornyn. If scrum were used in its literal sense of rugby, West would undoubtedly be an extreme favorite to win the nomination because he has an impressive stature.
State Senator Royce West, Democrat of Dallas
West is a liberal but of a much older generation than the revolutionaries now seeming to direct the Democratic Party both in Texas and in D.C.
“I’m battle-tested. You’ve seen me in battle. What we’re about to do is reclaim Lyndon Baines Johnson’s Senate seat for a Democrat,” West said in at his campaign launch in Dallas showing his outdated approach in a party whose young members are more likely to see LBJ, if they know who he is, as a white-privileged warmonger as detestable as any Republican.
These young Leftist revolutionaries may see West’s “battle-tested” past in the way Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her “squad” see the Congressional Black Caucus members – “black faces that don’t want to be a black voice.”
West is a big-government liberal who has built a strong reputation in the Texas Legislature but it is doubtful that the new, young, Beto-Pancho-style Democrats prefer a competent candidate to a loudmouthed, unaccomplished, narcissistic, socialist-revolutionary one.
Is big Royce West too outdated for today’s Democrats?
